Be a Smart Organic Shopper

All fruit is not created equal. Step into any major grocery store and you will notice the ever-growing presence of organic produce. Beside the usual mound of shiny red apples is often another pile, seemingly identical except for a heftier price tag, and maybe, a little less shine.

The difference is in the green sticker, designating the latter as USDA Certified Organic, grown without the use of chemical or synthetic fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides.
